What we do

Post & beam and timber-frame construction creates open, light-filled spaces with the structure itself on display. Green Island's roots in timber-frame construction go back to the 1990s.

Why Green Island: Timber-frame experience dating back to the 1990s, combined with the sitework and finish capability to deliver the whole home.

What's included

  • Timber-frame homes, great rooms and additions
  • Post & beam barns and outbuildings
  • Foundations and sitework to receive the frame
  • Enclosure — roofing, siding and windows
  • Interior finish that shows off the frame
  • Coordination with frame designers and suppliers

How we approach the work

  1. Conversation and site visit — we learn the property, the goals and the constraints.
  2. Clear scope — what is included, what still needs to be decided and what information we need.
  3. Scheduled, coordinated work — one team managing the phases in the right order.
  4. Walk-through and follow-up — we finish what we start and stand behind it.
